Bombardier maintains the 200km/h (125 mph) tilting trains at its Central Rivers depot near Burton-upon-Trent, and at other locations on the network. The trains operate between London and North Wales, and between Birmingham and Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Tony Collins, chief executive of Virgin Trains, said: "Virgin Trains are delighted to extend our service agreement with Bombardier Transportation, building on the strong relationship we have developed over the last 13 years. The Voyagers are a key part of the West Coast Fleet and we look forward to working with Bombardier to continue to deliver a reliable and punctual service to all of our customers."
